Best for Bottled Spring Water: Costco

Why We Chose It: Bulk retail giant Costco offers members-only deals for exclusive water delivery pricing in partnership with water delivery services.

Pros
Lower pricing on premium water brands
Convenient delivery of water and dispensers
Customizable orders and delivery frequency

Cons
Only available to Costco members
Minimum purchases required in some locations

While Costco itself is not a water delivery service, the bulk retailer partners with affiliates throughout the U.S. to offer exclusive member pricing on water delivery services. You can choose from 3- or 5-gallon jugs, with spring water costing an average of $7.50 per five-gallon jug.

Affiliates vary by location, but the list includes several mainstream players in the water delivery space. Because the service is only available to Costco members, it isn’t possible to acquire any information about services available in your area without entering your membership information on the website.

The dispensers offered through Costco pour hot and cold water. The store delivers to both homes and offices, although that is subject to the affiliate provider availability in your specific area. Because affiliates vary throughout the country, you may not have the same access to specific brands as people in other geographic locations.

There is a one-year contract minimum, and you have to order at least once every four weeks with a $12 minimum for each order. 

Best Value: Culligan

Why We Chose It: With flexible delivery dates and inexpensive purified water, Culligan offers the convenience of home-delivered water at a lower-than-average cost.

Pros
100% satisfaction guarantee
Customizable quantities, delivery frequency
Straightforward mission

Cons
You can’t get a direct price quote
Only introductory pricing available

Culligan offers water delivery at an introductory rate of $1 per day, and the company is well-known in the water delivery and water filtration services. The service offers purified water at a lower rate than competitors and there is a three-bottle requirement per order. However, there is no way to find out what the water will cost on average without filling out a customer service form and awaiting a response from a local provider.

Culligan serves areas throughout the country, although not everywhere. Online reviews for Culligan’s water delivery service are generally positive.

The company also provides water softeners and water dispensers.

Best for Distilled Water: Crystal Springs

Why We Chose It: Crystal Springs delivers reasonably priced distilled water directly in the eastern U.S. and through Sparkletts in the west.

Pros
Affordable plastic jugs
All minerals and impurities are removed
Contact-free delivery

Cons
Confusing to see which provider serves your area
Distilled water isn’t available in single servings
Glass jugs are expensive

Crystal Springs offers 5-gallon jugs of distilled water for delivery in the eastern United States. In the west, delivery is available through Sparkletts. Smaller brands deliver the company's water to select local areas. The company also has dispenders that serve hot and cold water.

Crystal Springs charges between $7.95 and $8.95 for delivery depending on location. Delivery is biweekly and subject to the availability of your local provider. All distilled water jugs are subject to bottle deposits, and it’s expected that you will return old bottles for sterilization after each use.

When you sign up, you must order at least three, 5-gallon bottles and a water cooler, so this isn’t a fit for anyone looking for a minimal amount of distilled water. However, if you regularly use distilled water for drinking, cooking, or cleaning, the price of Crystal Springs' water delivery will save you money.

Pros
